We propose an improved Proton Observed Carbon Edited (POCE) method, PROCEED, that eliminates splitting due to short-range 13 C- 1 H J-coupling. Although the overall SNR for the PROCEED method is √2 less than that achieved using a decoupled POCE acquisition, spectral simplification and reduced metabolite peak overlap is achieved without SAR-intensive decoupling. The elimination of decoupling makes in vivo 13 C MRS of neuroenergetics and neurotransmitter cycling potentially viable for studies throughout the human brain.
